Ajitsuke Tamago (Japanese flavored soft boiled eggs) 溏心蛋

My family love this Ajitsuke Tamago ( Japanese flavored soft boiled eggs ﻿) which served in a Japanese ramen restaurant located at Subang. Usually we like to order additional eggs which cost us RM 2 for one egg. Since it is quite easy to make this at home, i made this when i cooked ramen (i found a good subsitution using local noodles) the other day.

Thanks to Nami Just One Cookbook described to me this marinate sauce in one of my Japan travel post..so easy to prepare this sauce.

Boil egg in simmering water , one egg was cracked. If you ask me how not to crack the egg when boiling eggs, sorry, i don't know, hehehe..﻿

Try to use aged eggs, so easy to peel the egg shell..﻿

Soak eggs in marinate sauce﻿

I tried few batches with difference timing from 6mins- 7mins, we prefer egg done at 7mins, not too runny of egg yolk but still taste soft ..

(for my induction cooker, cook at 140C)4. Once done, immediately cool it down it a bowl of tap water. Once cooled down, peel the eggs.5. Add eggs into marinate sauce and marinate for 3hrs. Stir the eggs from time to time for even colouring.6. Do not soak them for too long as the whites will turn rubbery and it might taste too salty.

Thank you so much for the mention Sonia! Your tamago looks perfect. I can eat this any time... We often says the crack of eggs in boiling water is that the heat (for boiling) was too strong and eggs dancing and bumping each other which causes cracks. Not sure if this is the case, but just a thought. :) Now I want to put these on ramen and eat it...

To prevent the eggs shells from cracking, put the eggs in the cold water and start boiling the water. Start timing when the water starts to boil. For soft yolk like those in you have taken, it takes between 5 to 6 minutes after that.
